So either I’m a really, really awesome mum, or I’m a complete sucker. (Personally, I’m going with sucker. Total.Sucker.)
I finished the Ishbel beret on Tuesday. I still had a whole skein of the Knit Picks Gloss sock left over, and three days until R’s birthday. So I started a pair of Veyla gloves/mitts to match. Like I said, total sucker.

But they are quick! Super quick! I finished the first one on Tuesday night, and got started on the second one yesterday.

And if Em’s reaction is anything to go by, R will like them. A lot. (As I’m sure you’ve all guessed, Em has ordered a set for herself!)
I really, really like the Knit Picks Gloss Sock. This colourway is the “Cosmos” colour, and it’s gorgeous. My friend Jill sent it to me as a gift a while back and I’m in love. The silk adds a nice sheen, and it’s super squishy!
And Jill outdid herself this time! Just today I got another gift from her.

Two pink woven scarves! And they’re gorgeous. I even went and changed my outfit so I could wear one today!
oh pink! how did she know?! and i cant believe you got all the gift knitting done so quickly, and its so beautiful. lucky em and friend!
Well, you might be a sucker, but you are also a top mum!
The gloves are gorgeous!
You had to change to wear pink? I don’t believe it! LOL
Veylas in that purple are perfect!
Beautiful gloves! You are such a good Mom.
Lovely mitts & I love the color. You are just a gorgeous Mum & I bet you look great in that new pink scarf.
I’m going with Rock star of a mum!
You are not a sucker, just a wonderful knittter who loves what she does. They are just gorgeous and I am sure the recipient will love them.
